What keyboard would you suggest buying with this Orgami Workstation with IPad 2. Also can you use a mouse and is there a certain one you can suggest?

I think it's been designed for Apple's wireless keyboard exclusively. It works with all the iPads (and probably any non-Apple tablet). I honestly don't know if a Bluetooth mouse will work on the iPad.

This works with the Apple keyboard. In fact, it was specifically made for it. I have read that you can't use a mouse with the iPad.

I have the standard Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it seems to work fine. I do not believe iPads are meant to use the mouse. When you use the keyboard with an iPad you have to get used to doing some things that you'd normally do with the mouse with a finger on the screen. Takes some getting used to, but it works. I don't see the iPad as an exact replacement for a laptop, but a set-up that can stand in for one occasionally. In any case, you might want to double-check my answer on the mouse -- I could be wrong, but as far as I know you can't use it. Good luck!

You can only use the Origami with apple's bluetooth wireless keyboard. You cannot use a mouse with an iPad. It has a touchscreen, so you navigate and "click" by dragging and tapping directly on the screen with your fingers.

I am using the apple wireless keyboard for it and not the mouse. Since it is the iPad, one stylus pen would do fine. But for having the keyboard around, this case really works.

Get the Apple Wireless keyboard. The case is designed for it. You can't use a mouse with an IPad as far as I know, but then there is no reason to use one. You can still just touch the screen to place the cursor, open and close apps, or whatever. It might feel a little awkward to begin with but the adjustment is swift.

I use an Apple wireless keyboard, which I love. I see no way a mouse can be used with it. I also like the Orgami Workstation.

No. My (refurbished) iPAD 3 died two weeks after I got my keyboard. I was very happy with my logitech solar keyboard, I would certainly get one again and have no hesitation in recommending this item highly...with one qualifier. I have been so unhappy with my iPAD 3 and Apple's complete indifference that I will never buy another iPAD, nor, for that matter, any other Apple Product. For me, I have learned my lesson: Tablets are inadequate for me. if I need something smaller than a lap-top, it will be a fully capable net-book. Depending on your needs and usage pattern, you may find this to be true for yourself. If you have any iPAD already, you have my sincere sympathy, condolences and wishes for better luck than I had! will not be smaller nor less capable than a net-book, hybrid perhaps.

I do not own an iPad or iPad 2 so I do not know the answer. I do understand, however, that "Bluetooth" is an industry standard form of electronic device communication for use in wireless phones, computers, gaming consoles and tablets, etc. The Bornd mouse I am using with my Asus T100 tablet works fine. I knew that my tablet supported the Bluetooth standard before I ordered the mouse by researching the tablet specifications. I assume that you can do the same for the iPad 2. Good luck, good hunting!

One of the pics shows the iPad 2 with the keyboard in a Moko Slim case... You're not seeing things. :o)

We have the Logitech Keyboard, which fits iPad, iPad 2 and iPad Air. We were unhappy with the Belkin and returned it. I did a review of the Belkin with our reasons for the unhappiness.

I have an ipad and the Logitech keyboard. The two of them fit in it very well and will stay together.

no it doesn't... we have the first generation ipad and it doesn't work with a mouse anyway. also we did have one key pop off since we've had this, but it clicked back on with no trouble. :)

Bluetooth-wise it works just fine. I have an iPad Air that I was using it with but didn't want to buy another keyboard for my iPad Air 2. Besides, on the Logitech forums a lot of people are complaining about the hinge and weak magnet on the their new keyboard for the iPad Air 2. It's not elegant but i cut a thin strip of cardstock the length of the slot on the keyboard and insert it behind the Air 2 to make it stand a bit more upright. The Air 2 is thinner and leans back too far for my liking w/o this. If there is a magnet to keep the keyboard closed when transporting then it doesn't mate up with the one in the Air 2 so you'll need a sleeve or another inelegant solution like a rubber band. :) Bluetooth-wise it works just fine.

Turn on keyboard, turn Bluetooth on, then your Ipad should find the keyboard and link them together. At least that is how I did it, hope this helps.

An external keyboard will work. Either USB plug in or bluetooth. I used a plug in keyboard and it worked fine. All keys functions worked. I used a capacitive stylus that worked great.

There should be no reason it shouldn't work with the iPad 2, as the keyboard uses a Bluetooth connection in order to operate. The only caveat would be that the case might not hold the iPad 2 securely since it's thinner than the orignal iPad; but I've found that a number of iPad cases work just fine with the iPad 2. You may wish to read the reviews of the product which mention its durability (or lack thereof) before considering a purchase.

The keyboard connects to the iPad using a blue tooth connection that you set up at the iPad. You don't need a mouse or touch pad because the iPad is touch screen. You go back and forth from the keyboard to the screen, tapping the places you want to enter text.

Should work fine with iPad, since it is BlueTooth, I use the Logitech Magic Trackpad with my iPad it works great, but has trouble connecting sometimes.

The keyboard is bluetooth. In you settings you can sync the keyboard to your ipad without any issues. I have not seen the board and ipad use a cord between them but I will assume if that is what yo want to do then get a 5 point connector for the iPad and a mico USB adapter for the board and try to connect them that way? Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for your detailed response. I am a special education teacher and was thinking about taking the iPad to iep meetings, but did not want to take notes on the built-in, nor do I want to write reports on this thing. The keyboard would make it easier to type anything of length, and now I am pretty are that I will give it a try....thanks again for helping out!

It will not work on your IPad. Apple figures your finger is the only external mouse you will ever need on an IPad. But it would be nice for VMware client running a windows VM. If you want a mouse on a tablet try a Surface.
